published by Gen. Malone, says: "Iu the

watching every act and speech, personal
and official, they have only been able TO
make four accusations against me. One,

pleading an official engagement, but instead
went to the theatre with boon companions;
second, that went to Washington in the
midst of the debt settlement and acted as a
Judge in horse race third, that had en-

own convenience fourth, that | used the
State boards TO reward "broken down mill.

meeting of the citizens of Richmond to be
called for the purpose RECOMMENDING that
the people pay their taxes IN money and
not in coupons, and would have done so
had such meeting been convened.

departments. 1t is true that [ went with

the debt settlement is concerned nothing
was being done at the time, because the
foreign representatives were awaiting fur

BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-The Baltimore and
Ohio Express to-day passed into the hands
of the United States Express Company and
its employees notified of the change There
will, for the present at least, be no changes
in the employees, and reports will be made
10 the general manager as heretofore. 1t is
now very generally believed here that the
sale of the express is not the last ofthe deals
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company.
Special dispatches from New York render it
conclusive to the minds of many prominent
business men that the telegraph system of the
company will soon pass into other hands, if
the negotiation is not already concluded.
The impression also prevails that Mr.. Gar
rett IS anxious to dispose of the road, and
the announcement of its sale at any time
will create no surprise here.

THE PARTIES for the sole benefit of whom
the protective tariff is maintained, the rich
owners of the mines aud manufactures, say
that such tariff increases wages And
yet these proteciionists are the very same
identical men who, when their hands strike
for part OF the exorbitant profits the tariff
enables them to make on the labor Of those
hands, lock them out, aud employ cheap
foreign labor, which is thus attracted to this
country to the extent Of hundreds of
thousands of wage earners every year, who
by competing with native and citizen
lied labor, and by increasing the supply of
labor, necessarily reduce both the demand
for and the price of labor. When will the
laborers, whose votes elect the men who
make the country's laws, learn on which
side their own bread is buttered?
